West Coast Eagles fans turning Perth Stadium into a cauldron with chorus of boos
COLLINGWOOD’S preliminary final match-winner Mason Cox hasn’t wasted any time giving Melbourne fans a dig on social media. Meanwhile, West Coast fans are blowing up about the umpires, despite being 10 goals up.

MASON Cox has delivered a sledge the Aussie cricket team would be proud of.
The big American - fresh off his preliminary final-winning exploits - had a not so subtle dig at Melbourne fans as they watch their team be torn about by West Coast.
Western Australia Police didn’t miss out on the Demons bashing either with some gold.
LIVE: EAGLES V DEMONS PRELIMINARY FINAL
Cox tweeted his parents’ flights from Dallas to Melbourne were cheaper than Demons’ fans travelling to Perth ... and, of course, they got to see their son star.
As you can imagine, the sledge wasn’t well received by the red and blue faithful and the Magpies forward won’t want to disappear in next week’s Grand Final.
After copping a red and blue backlash, Cox deleted the tweet.

EAGLES “WOULD BOO THEIR OWN GRANNIES”
DEATH, taxes and a chorus of boos ringing out from West Coast supporters at a packed Perth Stadium.
Notoriously the most parochial home supporter base in the AFL, Eagles fans are holding up their end of the bargain with deafening roars of derision every time something goes Melbourne’s way as the two teams face off in a preliminary final clash.
And social media has taken notice, with many annoyed by the noise coming out of the sellout crowd.
West Coast supporters would boo their own Grannies if they were playing for a Victorian club. #AFLFinals #AFLEaglesDees

I love AFL, but I hate booing crowds. West Coast Eagles have just about everything going for them, but still they boo. Too much booze perhaps.

West Coast supporters would boo at a funeral.

Do west coast fans just boo for the sake of booing? #AFLEaglesDees

“There’s always a reason to boo†Eagles Fans

Be prepared everyone. If it’s not a pro Eagles decision 95% of the crows are going to boo, loudly. #AFLEaglesDees

When are they going to change the team name to West Ghost Eagles? The way the crowd keeps yelling #boo it makes sense #AFLEaglesDees
